Noticably more grib. They are going away a little now and nowhere near the wear indicators still although I do have much more power than before so had to make a judgement call.

The Ford dealership said they had tyres to suit the car at competitive prices.Current Tyres are Dunlop SP Sport maxx 245/40 R18 93Y (Standard from new) Quoted at $400 ea, orFalken ZE912 for $300 ea.

Taleb Tyres is good to deal with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ford dealership said they had tyres to suit the car at competitive prices.Current Tyres are Dunlop SP Sport maxx 245/40 R18 93Y (Standard from new) Quoted at $400 ea, orFalken ZE912 for $300 ea.Keep away from the Falkens, I had these on my F6 Tornado ute worst tyres ever. I have never seen a tyre feel off from the firewall as this happened to me twice! When I bought the car I need tyres and thought of the same as you posted above, new 4 Falkens ZE912 and only the fronts lasted 3000kms and front left tyre of the frirewall started to peel. My mate at the tyre place said out of all his years in the business he has never seen a tyre like it and placed the Bridgestone re001...no complaints till 1000kms later it happened to me on the rear same thing and bought the Kuhmo for a little less no complaints.From experience I would keep away from the Falken, I am a big fan of bridgestones and thought I'd change all for a few hundred $$$$ which cost me more in the long run. The Kuhmo tyre isn't that bad at all aswell but need feed back on the RE002 Bridgestone.Any one with feedback on the RE002?Group buy? I need 2 but will buy 4 if I need to.

(heaps better than the OEM)What are they like?I have all bridgestones re-001 on all my cars.Need feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
